International Hirers
I'm an international tourist. Can I still use Camplify?
Absolutely! Camplify welcomes international tourists. We have a specific verification process for international hirers to ensure you can enjoy your Australian RV adventure.
What documents do I need as an international hirer?
As an international hirer, you'll typically need to provide a driver's license from your country of origin and your passport. Make sure your license is valid for use in Australia. Find out more details in our our Camplify Terms of Service, section ‘Identity and other checks’.
Does my international driver's license need to be in English?
If your driver's license is not in English, you'll need to provide an accredited English translation or an International Driving Permit along with your original license.
How do I submit my international documents for verification?
You can usually upload your documents directly through the Camplify platform. If you encounter any issues, you can email clear, legible copies to our support team for manual verification, or reach out to one of our dedicated Support staff via LiveChat.
Do I need an International Driving Permit to hire an RV in Australia?
Whether you need an International Driving Permit depends on your country of origin and the state you'll be driving in. It's generally recommended for non-English licenses. Check with the relevant state authorities or ask Camplify support for guidance.
Can I use my foreign credit card for the booking and verification process?
Yes, Camplify accepts most major international credit cards. However, make sure your card doesn't block overseas transactions, as this could interfere with the booking process.
As an international hirer, do I need to provide proof of my travel plans?
While it's not typically required for verification, having your travel itinerary on hand can be helpful. Some owners might ask about your plans when you request a booking.
What if my country doesn't issue driver's licenses with an address?
If your driver's license doesn't include an address, you may need to provide an additional proof of address document. Contact Camplify support for guidance on acceptable documents.
Can I hire an RV if I've just arrived in Australia and don't have a local address?
Yes, you can. Use the address of your first accommodation in Australia (like a hotel) when asked for a local address during the verification process.
Do I need to provide my visa information as part of the verification process?
While visa information isn't typically part of the standard verification process, ensure you have the right to drive in Australia. Some owners might ask about your visa status.
Specific Verification Scenarios
What if I don't have a driver's license?
To hire an RV, you need a valid driver's license. If you don't have one, you won't be able to be the primary hirer, but you could travel as a passenger if someone else in your group has a license and can be the primary hirer.
Can I use a provisional or probationary license?
Camplify does not permit drivers with provisional (P1 or P2) or learner licenses to hire or drive an RV. You must have a full, unrestricted license.
Is there an age limit for verification?
Yes, you generally need to be between 21 and 84 years old to hire through Camplify. Some owners may have different age restrictions, which will be noted in their listings.
What if I've recently moved and my license doesn't show my current address?
If your license doesn't show your current address, you may need to provide an additional proof of address document. Contact Camplify support for guidance on acceptable documents.
Do I need to verify my identity for each additional driver?
Additional drivers can typically be added at the time of vehicle collection. Their license details will be recorded in the Pre-Hire Checklist, but they don't usually need to go through the full Camplify verification process.
What if I don't have a smartphone to complete the verification process?
While the process is easiest with a smartphone, you can complete verification on a computer. If you're having difficulties, contact Camplify support for assistance.
Can I hire an RV if I have a digital driver's license?
At present, Australia does not accept digital copies of International drivers licenses for driving purposes.
What should I do if I've lost my license just before my trip?
If you've lost your license, contact Camplify support immediately. You may need to provide alternative identification and proof that you've applied for a replacement license.
Do I need to verify my identity if I'm only creating an account to browse?
You can create an account and browse listings without going through the full verification process. However, you’ll need to complete verification before paying for an accepted booking.
What if I'm not comfortable providing my personal information online?
We understand concerns about online privacy. Camplify uses secure systems to protect your data. If you're uncomfortable with the online process, contact our support team to discuss alternative verification methods.
Remember, if you have any questions about the verification process that aren't covered here, don't hesitate to reach out to Camplify support. We're here to help ensure your hiring experience goes smoothly from start to finish!
